I'm happy to see that vmware3 now compiles on FreeBSD 6 and an looking
forward to using it again. However, when I start it I get:
Unable to open either the disk '/dev/md0'....
Strange. I used to be able to used a memory disk for my files under
FreeBSD 5. Doesn't anyone know what's going on?
For reference:
genius% ls -ld /dev/md0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root operator 0, 130 Nov 21 12:12 /dev/md0
genius% id
uid=100(joe) gid=100(joe) groups=100(joe), 0(wheel), 5(operator), 68(dialer)
and it's definitely a good disk:
genius# mount_ntfs /dev/md0s1 /mnt
genius# ls /mnt
$AttrDef $Volume Program Files
$BadClus AUTOEXEC.BAT RECYCLER
$Bitmap Binaries System Volume Information
$Boot CONFIG.SYS WINDOWS
$Extend Documents and Settings Websites
$LogFile IO.SYS boot.ini
$MFTMirr Inetpub clj4500
$Secure MSDOS.SYS ntldr
$UpCase NTDETECT.COM pagefile.sys
And also:
genius# ls -l /compat/linux/dev/md*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 8 Dec 7 2004 /compat/linux/dev/md0 -> /dev/md0
What gives? Me confused. It's not the block vs character device issue
again is it? I thought that we'd fixed that ages ago... :(
